The Astor Compact DCII dementia friendly height adjustable bath is the first bath specifically designed for use within a dementia care setting. The unique auto lockout ensures that the water cannot be accidentally turned on and that the bath features are immobilised. The bath has a built in auto-fill system to enable the carer to set the bathwater running unattended, without the risk of overfill. The unique shape of the Compact bath range and height adjustable design give maximum comfort to the bather and minimal strain and ease of use for the carer. With a proprietary bearing system, multi-layer GRP panels, twin gel coated seat and high grade 304 stainless steel parts, the Compact range has been built to the highest standard, designed for longevity. The integrated powered seat, with its clip and lock lap strap, nursing arms and obstacle sensor, enables bathers to transfer safely and comfortably. On the Compact DCII, there is an option for the seat to be of a contrasting colour to help bathers with perception issues to sit down more assuredly. The seat is shaped to give optimal carer access, especially with the commode seat option. There is also a detachable seat option where the seat can be completely removed, and a headrest fitted to enable comfortable bathing when the seat is not in use. A transfer trolley is available for safe and smooth transfers. The gantry system is Kiwa KUKReg4 approved and provides backflow protection to fluid category 5 level and TMV3 temperature control. The bath water controls are fitted with a separate TMV3 temperature control with a digital display showing the temperature of the water leaving the spout. Optional Extras:

  • Coloured seat
  • Air spa system
  • Bluetooth sound system
  • Colour changing LED light system
  • Detachable seat system with head rest
  • Seat transfer trolley

FAQs

Discover clear and honest answers to your frequently asked questions.

What are the benefits of a power-assisted bath?

A power-assisted bath provides ease for both users and carers alike. They offer a safe, long-term solution for individuals with mobility challenges, plus customisation options such as air spas and chromotherapy lighting to enhance the experience. Power-assisted baths are specifically designed to allow carers to assist users with minimal physical strain, plus they streamline the bathing process in busy, care home environments.

Should I choose a non-assisted or assisted power bath?

An assisted power bath is designed for users who need help from a caregiver or family member during bathing. These baths typically include mechanisms such as powered seats and bathing platforms and integrate with mobile hoist systems. This allows caregivers to support their families or clients in an easy and effortless way for everyone involved.

On the other hand, a non-assisted power bath is designed for users who can bathe independently but may still need some assistance from built-in features. These baths include powered mechanisms such as seats or doors that make it easier for users to enter, exit, and bathe independently without needing help from another person.

Should I choose a bath lift or a power bath?

Choosing between a bath lift and a power bath depends on your needs, preferences and budget. Bath lifts offer a cost-effective solution and allow you to keep your current bath, simply enhancing its accessibility. However, they do not provide the same levels of comfort as a fully integrated power bath. Still, they can be an ideal temporary, short-term solution during recovery from illness or accidents.

Power baths offer a more comprehensive, all-in-one solution with strong, built-in features such as powered seats, doors and spa options. They are better suited to those with limited mobility who want a long-term, safe, independent, enjoyable bathing experience.
